    Ok, thanks I will reuse the potting soil. I was thinking the same thing, keeping them at room temp may be the trick. I kept mine in garage over winter which normally doesn’t get below 50°. We had a very unusual cold snap this past winter that cause temperture below 50° in garage. I think that...

    I've read you can overwinter peppers, but didn't realize it was that hard to do. Well there must be a minimum low temperture the pepper plant can withstand. I will have to do some more research on this. We did have a usually cold winter here in zone 7a. I do remember in around mid winter one of...

    I have two over winter bell plants, one over winter hot pepper plant. Was getting ready to pot them back up to 5 gallon bucket from 8" X 8" over winter container. Noticed all brown roots on all of them indicating root rot. Is it a waist of time to cut dead roots off and repot?

    I had peas & green beans planted here last year. I amended with 2" of mushroom compost. I probably don't need to add any nitrogen yet since green beans & peas was there last. I'm thinking I will start using a 10-10-10 fertilizer 3 weeks after planting & continue every 3 weeks until bulbing begains.

    Herb seed

    Not really worried about the chive seeds not germinating. Don't really use chives that much. Surely don't want them taking over my property out of control. The main reason I was going to put any out was to attract pollinators. Didn't realize chives was so invasive. Not germinating could be a...

    Parsley plant

    I us it on fish, coleslaw, garden salad. Sometimes I run across a recipe that call for parsley. Haven't used it a lot but starting to use it more often. Seems to have a lot of health benefits. Open for suggestions!
